Our Difference

We value your time and want to make the event as efficient as possible. There are no minimum meeting requirements and we only want you to take meetings where you are genuinely interested in the manager rather than just fulfilling a requirement. Meetings are scheduled based only on your specific choices. There is no platform and there are no manager requests for meetings to respond to. We also take your privacy seriously and do not publish any allocator names. We only pass along your contact info to managers you meet with and then only with your explicit permission.

No cumbersome platform to manage meetings
No minimum meeting requirements
Only take meetings if you are genuinely interested
Who you meet with is 100% controlled by you
We do not pass your contact info to managers without explicit permission
The Comparison

Quality. Discretion. Productivity.

Discretion
Your details are protected.

Your contact information is never shared without your explicit opt-in. You control who reaches you, before and after the event.

Efficient Sourcing
Months of work in a day.

Pre-scheduled, one-on-one meetings with hard to find investing talent condenses extensive manager research into a single, structured day.

Quality
Network with your peers

Build relationships with other top allocators in an informal environment.

Manager Profile
What allocators can expect.

A curated mix of strategies, spanning emerging managers to larger firms that are low-profile and under-the-radar. AUM ranges from pre-launch to more established funds above $1 billion. Most managers fall in the $50 million to $500 million range. Every fund is vetted for quality, fit, and differentiation. We prioritize managers that we believe remain overlooked.

Under-the-radar
Vetted
Emerging
You control who you meet.

In advance of the event, you’ll receive a curated preview of the managers attending. You can then decide to meet those managers of interest.

We’ll schedule those meetings for the day of the Roundtable. There is no minimum meeting requirement.

"I also wanted to congratulate you on assembling a large and diverse lineup - I'm not sure I appreciated how many managers you have attending the conference nowadays, and I was surprised at how many managers I didn't recognize on the list (even though we strongly focus on emerging managers!)"

"I enjoyed the Roundtable, and I thought the format was great. Long enough meetings to get a decent overview of a firm, but not so long as to waste time if things appear to not be a fit. The idea pitches at the beginning were also great."

"The event was very high-quality, the manager type was highly differentiated and we met several that, although active since some years and with strong, respectable track records, had never crossed our radars. It was a great use of time. Kudos to you and the whole team."

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the events by invitation only?

Yes. The event is invitation-only, and all attendees are carefully vetted.

What strategies are represented at the event?

Most manager attendees run fundamental, public-equity focused long/short or long-only strategies. We also include a select number of differentiated strategies that are unique and aligned with allocator interest.

How are meetings selected?

Managers’ materials are uploaded to a secure data room, where registered allocators review them and submit meeting requests. We then hand-build the schedules based on those requests, with the goal of maximizing the value and fit of each meeting.

How many meetings are there?

There are eight 30-minute meetings. Each meeting is typically one-on-one, but if a manager receives more than eight meeting requests, we may create a schedule that includes both one-on-one meetings and meetings with multiple allocators.

Are contact details shared?

After the event, managers receive the email addresses of the allocators they met with, unless an allocator has opted out of sharing their contact information. We do not share a full allocator attendee list externally.

Attendance is by invitation only. Most who attend our events come to us by referrals from allocators or managers, but we are also happy to have managers or allocators reach out to us directly.
